Adjustable recoil lug

ABSTRACT

A rifle comprising a frame with a barreled action connected to the frame and has a lug. It has a wedge operably connected to the frame and operably engaged to bias against the lug. It has a fastener connected to the wedge and operable to adjust the position of the wedge.

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional PatentApplication No. 63/068,236, filed on Aug. 20, 2020, entitled “ADJUSTABLERECOIL LUG”, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entiretyfor all that is taught and disclosed therein.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to bolt action receivers.

BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY

The current market of bolt action receivers has slight deviations onrecoil lug locations in relation to action screws.

This creates a need for actions to be bedded by a gunsmith using anepoxy solution and is referred to as glass bedding for improved accuracyand to ensure the action is completely on the recoil surface. Theadjustable recoil lug achieves identical results as glass beddingwithout the need to glass bed the action.

The above disadvantage is addressed by a rifle comprising a frame with abarreled action connected to the frame and has a lug. It has a wedgeoperably connected to the frame and operably engaged to bias against thelug. It has a fastener connected to the wedge and operable to adjust theposition of the wedge.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

FIG. 1 shows the adjustable recoil lug assembled in a rifle (this caseit is in a chassis which is shown transparent for clarity). This showsthe screw that is used to tighten the adjustable recoil lug down to theaction to ensure complete contact with the recoil lug. There are dowelpins that help keep the adjustable recoil lug from twisting and keep itperpendicular to the bedding area.

FIG. 2 shows a top view of the adjustable recoil lug in a chassis, whichcreates the recoil surface for the action to rest on. This clearly showsthe screw for tightening the recoil lug as well as the dowel pins thatkeep the recoil lug in the correct orientation.

FIG. 3 shows a side view of the adjustable recoil lug. This illustratesthe “ramp” that is machined in the rifle (chassis is shown andtransparent for clarity) to allow the adjustable recoil lug to moveperpendicular to the bedding surfaces to accommodate variances inactions.

FIG. 4 shows the slot for the screw that goes to the adjustable recoillug as well as the action screw hole and front of the magazine area ofthe rifle.

FIG. 5 shows the top area of the cutout for the adjustable recoil lug.This shows the slots for the dowels that help keep the lug alignedproperly.

FIG. 6 displays step one of the installation, with a side view withaction screws and the wedge in step one of attachment, with the screwsin a loose position.

FIG. 7 displays step two of the installation, with a side view withaction screws and the wedge in step two, after tightening the screws inplace.

I claim:
 1. A rifle comprising: a frame; a barreled action connected tothe frame and having a lug; a wedge operably connected to the frame andoperably engaged to bias against the lug; a fastener connected to thewedge and operable to adjust the position of the wedge.
